Who are those who will come on the Day of Resurrection with their hands pregnant [i.e., swollen], and is the woman who masturbates for her husband among them, and is glorifying Allah half an hour before Fajr an innovation?
The Hadith narrated by Al-Bayhaqi, stating that whoever marries his hand will come on the Day of Resurrection with his hand pregnant, is weak and unsound. However, masturbation is not permissible, based on the Almighty's saying: "And those who guard their private parts Except from their wives or those their right hands possess, for indeed, they are not to be blamed - But whoever seeks beyond that, then those are the transgressors." As for masturbation with the wife's hand or any part of her body, it is permissible, except during menstruation, anal sex, or during the state of ihram for a ritual. As for seeking forgiveness before dawn and at the time of pre-dawn (sahar), it is not an innovation; rather, it is among the actions of the righteous and a sign of the virtuous, based on the Almighty's saying: "And in the pre-dawn hours, they would ask for forgiveness."
